How to play

Every song in the daily set works the same way:

  1. Press play to hear a clip of the song — up to 30 seconds long.

  2. Pick the track from four options, each shown as “title — idol”. Tapping an option locks in your guess.

  3. Guessed wrong? The question ends right there — your pick is crossed out, the correct answer is revealed, and the song counts as a miss.

  4. Every song you name right counts as one — no speed bonus. Get all ten and you finish the day 10 / 10.

You can replay the clip as many times as you like before answering — but every question gives you exactly one guess.

About Stray Kids

Stray Kids debuted on March 25, 2018 under JYP Entertainment. The eight-member line-up — Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N — came together on a 2017 survival show of the same name, and this is a fourth-generation group that has stayed intact ever since (they started as nine; Woojin left in 2019). Their whole catalogue since debut is what Stray Kids Heardle draws on.

What really sets them apart is that they build most of their own catalogue. Bang Chan, Changbin and Han make up the in-house team 3RACHA, and the other members pitch in on writing and composing, so the discography has one restless, consistent voice rather than a rotating cast of outside producers. That one-team sound defines Stray Kids Heardle.

That shows up in the title tracks, which run loud and maximalist. "God's Menu" (2020) became their calling card; "Thunderous" (2021) dropped traditional Korean pansori and gugak instruments over a trap beat; and later singles like "MANIAC", "S-Class" and "Chk Chk Boom" kept the same hook-first, high-energy blueprint. All of them anchor Stray Kids Heardle rounds.

The scale caught up in the US, too. "Oddinary" gave them their first Billboard 200 No. 1 in 2022, and they went on to become the first act in the chart's history to debut eight albums in a row at the top. Their fandom, STAY, gets its name from dropping the "R" out of "Stray" — the idea being there's no reason to stray.

The full-length releases are easy to line up: "Go Live" (2020), "Noeasy" (2021), "5-Star" (2023) and "Karma" (2025), alongside a long run of EPs and mixtapes. "Noeasy" was the first million-selling album by any JYP Entertainment act, and "5-Star" went on to be certified at five million copies. Combined Korean and Japanese sales had passed forty million by 2026. Most of those tracklists are in the Stray Kids Heardle pool.

They also record separately for Japan, where their debut single "Top" reached number one on the Oricon chart in June 2020 and "The Sound" (2023) became their first full Japanese-language studio album. Their releases run through Republic Records for US promotion and Epic Records Japan for the Japanese market, so a single song can exist in more than one official version — part of why two Stray Kids tracks can share a hook but open completely differently — a classic Stray Kids Heardle trap.

Their competitive and live record fills in the rest. Stray Kids won Mnet's "Kingdom: Legendary War" on June 3, 2021, became the first K-pop boy band to headline Lollapalooza — Paris in 2023, Chicago in 2024 — and have collected six daesang (grand prize) awards along with a Prime Minister's Commendation in 2023 for their contribution to Korean culture.

Stray Kids Heardle FAQ

Quick answers on how Stray Kids Heardle works — the song pool, the rules and your stats.

When did Stray Kids debut and who are the members?

Stray Kids debuted on March 25, 2018 under JYP Entertainment. The group has eight members — Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin and I.N — after starting out as nine; Woojin left in 2019.

What is 3RACHA?

3RACHA is Stray Kids' in-house production unit — Bang Chan, Changbin and Han — who write and produce much of the group's music. It's a big part of why Stray Kids are known as a self-producing group.

How many studio albums do Stray Kids have?

Four so far — "Go Live" (2020), "Noeasy" (2021), "5-Star" (2023) and "Karma" (2025) — plus a long line of EPs and mixtapes. "Noeasy" was the first album by a JYP Entertainment act to sell a million copies, and "5-Star" was later certified at five million, which is a large share of the group's total sales on its own. The EPs and mixtapes are where most of the deep cuts in Stray Kids Heardle come from.

Do Stray Kids release music in Japanese?

Yes. Their Japanese debut single "Top" topped the Oricon chart in June 2020, and "The Sound" (2023) was their first Japanese-language studio album. Some songs exist in both Korean and Japanese versions.

Did Stray Kids win Kingdom: Legendary War?

Yes, on June 3, 2021. They have also been the first K-pop boy band to headline Lollapalooza, playing the Paris edition in 2023 and Chicago in 2024, and have won six daesang grand prizes. In 2023 they received a Prime Minister's Commendation for their contribution to Korean culture, and combined Korean and Japanese album sales had passed forty million by 2026.

What does STAY mean?

STAY is the name of Stray Kids' fandom, announced in 2018. It comes from dropping the "R" out of "Stray" — the idea being there's no reason to stray, because the fans stay. The group sums it up as "You make Stray Kids STAY".

What's Stray Kids' most famous song?

"God's Menu" (2020) is usually treated as their signature track and has their most-viewed music video. More recently, "Chk Chk Boom" (2024) became their biggest global hit and their first song to reach the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100.

How many songs are in this Stray Kids Heardle?

The Stray Kids Heardle pool draws from every Stray Kids track with a preview on Apple Music — one of the deeper catalogues here, thanks to how much they release. Each round pulls ten of them at random. That spans the EPs and mixtapes alongside the studio albums, plus their Japanese-language releases, which is where most of the deeper cuts come from.

Why does Stray Kids Heardle feel harder than other artists?

Stray Kids have a deep catalogue, and a lot of their intros share the same high-energy style, so telling a title track from a B-side in the first few seconds is genuinely tricky. Replaying the clip and listening for the hook helps.

Does Stray Kids Heardle affect my daily streak?

No. Artist unlimited mode runs on its own scoreboard and never touches your daily streak or stats.
